The recent trends of ETH, ZEC, and SOL have been evident to everyone. Since the beginning of 2025, the overall performance of the Crypto Assets market has indeed been a bit disappointing—total market capitalization has shrunk by about $500 billion, and the price of Bitcoin has dropped by 12%.
The most heartbreaking thing is that the token projects launched by those families performed even worse, dropping 93% directly from their peak, far underperforming the market. This is indeed a slap in the face for the rhetoric that touts "political benefits."
But what is the real reason behind this? The policy amnesty has indeed brought attention and short-term heat to the industry, but this heat seems to have failed to translate into real capital inflow. Currently, the market is still dominated by regulatory uncertainty and macro risk sentiment, with capital looking for projects that have substantial technical accumulation and institutional support, rather than simply following a certain event.
So rather than chasing news hotspots all day, it is better to spend more energy researching project fundamentals and assessing risk-reward ratios. The crypto world is full of variables, and maintaining rationality and vigilance in the era of information explosion is the true secret to long-term success.

93% decline... Is this called a political good news? Laugh out loud, it still depends on technology and capital flow, don't be fooled by hot topics
---
In simple terms, you need to do your homework and not just scroll through news and follow the trend blindly. This time, it's very clear-headed
---
Regulatory uncertainty is the real killer move; policy dividends are fleeting
---
Capital is always smart. No matter how many stories are spun, they can't compare to the real project accumulation. Those who were proven wrong this time should reflect
---
Losing to the market by such a large margin is enough to show the problem... fundamentals are king
---
No wonder so many people are losing money, it's just greed. Always wanting to make quick profits

A 93% drop is truly astonishing; this is the consequence of betting on political stories.
Chasing hot topics always comes with a price; it's more reliable to focus on fundamentals.
Another round of harvesting; those who should wake up already have.
When the hype fades, capital runs away—does anyone still not understand such simple logic?
The market is so realistic; projects without technology or institutional support will eventually fade away.
Staying calm is the key; don't be led by the news.
Underperforming the market by 93% is quite harsh. Have you all learned your lesson?

93% fall... Is this called favourable information? Laughing to death, it's better to go all in on fundamentals
---
Those who chase hotspots should reflect, real money doesn’t lie
---
That’s right, but who can really avoid chasing trends, let’s be honest
---
The evaporation of 500 billion, institutions have long withdrawn, retail investors are still gambling
---
Capital looks at technical accumulation, retail investors only look at Candlestick charts, the difference is that big
---
I just want to ask, is there anyone still willing to buy those family coins?
---
When will the uncertainty of regulation be resolved...
---
Researching fundamentals is too brain-intensive, it’s still more fun to watch the news
---
It's easy to say to be rational and vigilant, but the market is irrational
---
Wanting to outperform the market after underperforming? Wake up everyone

93% direct 50% Slump, this wave is indeed hard to understand the market
Those who follow political concepts will suffer losses, that
Fundamentals are the real deal, do your homework everyone
When the hot topics come, it's easy to get carried away, stay calm
The market is like this, there is no certainty, only a gambler's mentality
Researching Depth is worth much more than chasing trends

A 93% fall is indeed unbearable, is this what they call "political dividend"? Laughing to death.
You're right, those who are still speculating on hot topics will be trapped, the fundamentals are king.
It's already the season for playing people for suckers, I've long closed all positions.
When institutions are buying the dip, we are still cutting losses, this is the fate of retail investors.
History always repeats itself, before the next peak arrives, make sure to see clearly who is catching a falling knife.
